  • Arabic version of Wiki Islam: Transcendence vs geo-centrism

    Arabic version of Wiki Islam in its criticism of Quran focuses more on metaphysical issues than scientific ones. They seem to appeal to masses who are more metaphysically oriented. While the English version focuses on the narrative of scientific scrutiny of Quran. The first issue in Arabic version is the metaphysical issue of Transcendence and Immanence which is rhetorically asked from laymen like street epistemologists in west which is obviously a false dichotomy in a loaded question. The first issue in the English version involves geo-centrism, which educated me even more on heliocentric verses, is also very rhetorical and has mass sentimental value.

  • Islamic meritosophy vs modern meritocracy

    The definition of merit varies among Islamic worldview and modern world.

    Today we define merit as success, fame and productivity. However, in Islam success does not lie in fame rather fame reduces your chances of being successful with God.

    Spiritual productivity and material productivity are parallel domains. I know a few individuals who manage to be productive in both domains but many times these modes of productivity are anti parallel leading to compromise rather than synergy.

    Our eternal worth and self actualized worth may be different. The idea of filthy rags can be over pessimistic if it reduces spiritual productivity. The actual intent of that idea is to not have over reliance on productivity but to seek supernatural grace and intervention.

  • Islam and Zeteophobia

    God says: The responsibility of food for every creature on earth in upto God.

    God says: Man will get only what he struggles for whether in this life or the next.

    The philosophy of compatibilism in which you follow the middle road between prayer and hard work can be the cognitive therapy for zeteophobia.

  • Second advent and spirit of Maimonides

    Most Americans believe Jesus will come back. Both Sunni and Shia believe he will come back. Quran says all Jews will accept him before he dies. Ghamidi is a 21st century phenomenon with no scriptural or historical legitimacy.

  • Islam and workplace ostracism

    Workplace ostracism is common in south asian organizations and universities.

    طبراني : أنّ العبّاس رضي اللّه عنه أتى النبي (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم)فقال  :  يا  رسول اللّه انّي انتهيت الى قوم يتحدّثون فلمّا رأوني سكتوا و ما ذاك إلاّ  أنّهم يبغضونا ، فقال (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) : أو قد فعلوها ! و الذي نفسي بيده لا يؤمن أحدٌ حتّى يُحبّكم لحبّي ، أيرجون أن يدخلوا الجنة بشفاعتي و لا يرجوها بنو  عبد المطلب

    Tabarani narrates that the uncle of the Prophet(s) complained to him that people are talking to each other and I arrive, they fall silent. I am sure this is due to hatred. The Prophet(s) said: Really? No one becomes a believers unless they love you. Do they hope to enter Paradise through my intercession.

    There are two types of ostracism.

    1. Purposeful ostracism is a form of abuse.
    2. Nonpurposeful ostracism is due to neglect.

    Quran condemns both abuse and neglect in relationships and society at large.

  • Qabr as the alpha of infinite omega

    I think there are two dimensions of Qabr. Like martyrs are عند ربهم they feel close to Allah and pleasant breeze of Paradise. The other dimension is like a horror movie with real horror. The Hadith of sandwiching of qabr with pressure shows that the pain will be real. The real question is not to fully understand it but to know what to do about it. According to narrations reciting Surah Nisa every Friday will protect from the collapsing of grave. Another narration advises keeping yourself pure from major and minor impurities. Another narration talks about making believers happy. Another narration recommends Surah Mulk every night. The conclusion is that our actions here determine our future whether eternal horror and trauma or eternal bliss, happiness and salvation.

  • Quran and concept of reform chaos

    Quran discusses how unhealthy perfectionism of utopias turn them into dystopias and how narcissistic reform leads to chaos instead. In south asia there are two parallel chaotic reforms are at play. Anglo-Sikh reform chaos and Semitic reform chaos which lead to compound chaos which defines subcontinental armageddon.

  • Anthropological miracle of Pakistan and globalization

    Pakistan is not a British strategic management but a brainchild of God who created hybrid true pakistanis blending conflicting diversity through thousands of years of linguistic evolution. Due to globalization intermarriages will increase and racial purity will die its own death. The idea of subo ki zanjeer is not mere an administrative one, but God was taking care of it through millenia like beads of rosary.
